They’ve now hit the point where if McCarthy does get in, he will destroy everyone who stood in his way. That’s the kind of leader we need. /sarcasm

McCarthy should let his ego deflate and just go.

“Hope is the worst of evils for it prolongs the torment of man.”

—Nietzsche

The only honest resolution is for Kevin McCarthy to withdraw his name altogether from consideration, and for him to nominate another to take his place, say Steve Scalise. McCarthy has become the issue, and there is no promise that he can make to the hardcore resistance that could or would ever satisfy them. I am sure that a number of compromises were offered, which for some reason or another, were found unacceptable to the several parties involved. No resolution is possible in that circumstance, as the 20 or so simply will not stand aside, so certain they are that once in power, McCarthy would shaft them for sure.

From the outside, it looks like petty little games for petty little people. Being too close tends to magnify the importance of the object of these petty little games.

It’s starting to look like we’re going to end up with Jefferies. The Caucasus told McCarthy they rather have him if he won’t accept concessions.

“....he will destroy everyone who stood in his way. “

Exactly
